IT IS A CROW. Are you not able to understand this?”A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel annoyed; I rather felt affection for my innocent child. ”24. What does the underlined word“perched” mean in the passage?A. knocked B. landed C. hit D. flew 25. Why did the Father ask the same question again and again?ABecause he couldn't understand what his son said.BBecause he was too old to remember anything.CBecause he wanted to make his son angry.DBecause he wanted to see how patient his son would be.26.

BAn old man. CAn old dairy. DFather's love.CIn recent years, China has witnessed the growth of luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese consumers are now the largest spenders. Its clear that a new generation of young, materialistic people is increasingly relying on luxury brands to improve its self-image(自我形象)。 I am a fashionist too, at least in spiritI love to look at clothes and shoes. But I dont understand why people spend lots of money on designer labels. When a young woman buys a handbag that costs two months of her salary, thats a scary thing. Whats interesting is that scientists have found that having luxury things doesnt lead to happiness. Study after study has shown that although we want material things, when we get them we dont suddenly become“happy”people. In fact, a series of studies by Leaf Van Boven at the University of Colorado, US, has shown that individuals who spend money on travel and similar experiences get more pleasure than those who invest it in material tings. Thats because experiences are more easily integrated into a persons identity. If I travel to Yunnan, that adventure affects how I think in the future. My memories become a part of me. Moreover, as Van Boen has observed, young people who pursue happiness through“things”are liked less by their peers (同龄人). People prefer those who pursue happiness through experiences. Its natural to want to express yourself through your appearance. So, my advice is: create a look that isnt tied to a designer label. Convey your own message, Take some lessons from the late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, routinely appears in hoodies and sneakers. These people, successful people, have style. You dont have to break the bank to send a message about - 7 -who you are. Take a trip. Go out into the world. Then come back and confidently create your own signature look. By Susan Chyn 28. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?A. The author enjoys buying luxury brands herself. B. The author sees no point in spending money on material things C. The author is critical of youths tying their looks to designer labels. D. The author finds it natural for fashionists to follow fashion trends. 29. What did Leaf Van Bovens studies show?A. Traveling changes a persons identity greatly. B. People dislike those who love luxuries. C. Experiences can bring people more happiness than luxuries. D. Luxuries have a negative effect on peoples happiness. 30. Whats the authors advice on expressing oneself?A. Be selective about designer labels. B. Create y our own personal, unique style. C. Choose styles that are simple and comfortable. D. Try styles like Mark Zuckerbergs. 31. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To persuade readers to invest in experiences instead of luxuries. B. To prove how luxury leads to an unpleasant life. C. to tell how to express yourself through appearance. D. To report on a series of studies about luxuries and happiness. DAn Italian company has created the worlds first underwater farm. The station named Nemos Garden consists of five biospheres(生物圈) fixed to the bottom of the sea off the coast of Savona, Italy. Theyre being used to grow strawberries, beans, garlic, and lettuce.- 8 -“The main target of this project is to create other sources of plant production in areas where environmental conditions make it difficult to grow crops through traditional farming, including lack of fresh water, fertile soil, and extreme temperature changes, said project spokesperson Luca Gamberini.The five biospheres, currently floating between depths of 18 and 36 feet, are constantly watched by Ocean Reef Group a diving equipment companyfrom a control center on dry land. According to various news reports, the plants are watered by drips of water on the inner walls of the biospheres. With a constant temperature of 79 degrees day and night, and humidity(湿度) at around 83 percent, the conditions are ideal for plants to grow well. The high amount of carbon dioxide also encourages growth.Ocean Reef president Sergio Gamberini said he came up with the idea of growing plants underwater during a summer vacation in Italy. In his own words, he wanted to do something thats different and to show the beauty of the ocean. After two years of failed attempts, they finally were able to get these five biospheres working. Their success may lay the foundation for a new form of crop production that can be done without harming the environment.In fact, the biosphere seems to be attracting wildlife. Octopuses(章鱼) and endangered seahorses are taking shelter under the structure, while crabs(螃蟹) are climbing up the anchors and into the greenhouses. None of the creatures have damaged the plants so far. “Its so kind of science-fiction to see these two different forms of life interact,” Gamberini said.32. Why was the underwater farm created?A. To help explore the sea. B. To protect sea creatures.C. To improve the sea environment D. To find a new way of growing crops.33. Sergio Gamberini got the idea of growing plants underwater _.A. by chance B. from science fictionC. after reading a news report D. after two years of failed attempts34. The last paragraph is written mainly to tell us that _.- 9 -A. the plants in the biosphere is protected B. the biosphere is environmentally friendlyC. sea creatures may do harm to the biosphere D. sea creatures like the plants in the biosphere35. What is the text mainly about?A. The undersea exploration. B. Growing plants without soil.C. A biosphere that attracts wildlife. D. The worlds first underwater farm.第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。It is necessary to be reasonable and flexible enough to avoid conflicts as much as possible and live in peace with others. 36 If you have done all your best to avoid conflicts and you are still arguing, then read these effective tips on how to avoid conflicts.
